Note 44 — Chapter LXXXIII · SICILIAN AFFAIRS (continued). — FROM THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CARTHAGINIAN ARMY BY PESTILENCE BEFORE SYRACUSE, DOWN TO THE DEATH OF DIONYSIUS THE ELDER. B. C. 394-367.
Reading edition
Livy has preserved the mention of this important acquisition of Dionysius (xxiv. 3).
“Sed arx Crotonis, unâ parte imminens mari, alterâ vergente in agrum, situ tantum naturali quondam munita, postea et muro cincta est, quâ per aversas rupes ab Dionysio Siciliæ tyranno per dolum fuerat capta.”
Justin also (xx. 5) mentions the attack of Dionysius upon Kroton.
We may, with tolerable certainty, refer the capture to the present part of the career of Dionysius.
